You'll notice that all of our officers are in matching Fairy-Catching Club t-shirts.  These t-shirts are to be worn at all club meetings.  Please make one that looks similar!

Names for Club Members

Members of the Fairy-Catching Club must choose a nature name not already taken by another member.  Some examples would be Cherry Blossom or Sunshine.  Boys can choose more masculine names like Thunder or Lightning.

Your club name is private. Do NOT share it with anyone outside of the club!

If you forget your name, we can look it up on the list we keep inside our locked treasure box.

The following names have already been taken:

• Cherry Blossom
• Sunshine
• Frog
• Willow
• Dandelion
• Thunder
• Snowflake
• Honeysuckle
• Peonie
• Tiger Lily
• Flower

Fairy Houses

Every fairy-catcher should have fairy houses inside and outside -- at least one each.

Every house should have a bell.  This helps fairies interpret any messages we may leave them.  It's also a good idea to have a sign telling fairies that this is a safe house, especially if there are big men, dogs or cats, etc.

This sign says, "Fairies, it's safe.  Daddy's ok." That's just in case fairies are afraid of big men.

INDOOR HOUSES:

Beautiful house made by Zoey's Grammy

• Building fairy houses can be very creative and also very simple if you just use a cardboard box and decorate it with ribbons, fabric, paper or wrapping paper.

  

  House made out of cardboard box, doll accessories, and ribbon.  There's even a cup to wipe your excess pixie dust into!

• Use an empty toilet paper tube, add a welcome mat, and some cozy touches like a shell and a pillow!

  

  Tiny fairy house in the corner of a closet

• Miniature furniture from doll houses works really well.
• Wall paper can be made from regular paper that you draw on and tape or glue onto the house.
• Place the house in your bedroom -- that's best -- but not right by your bed in case they are afraid of waking you up or in case you snore in your sleep.

OUTDOOR HOUSES:

• Bird houses from craft stores make cute fairy houses.  Plus, the tiny doors prevents hawks getting in.
• An overflowing plant next to a smaller plant can make a little pathway and a hollow -- perfect for fairy houses!



Tree hollows make GREAT fairy houses!

• Hollows at the bottom of tree trunks are great!

A bird house -- inexpensive, attractive

, perfect!

TIP:  When you check your houses for fairies, sing a little song and put on a fairy costume (if you have one) to make them feel safer.

A perfect setting for an outdoor fairy house!

What Do Fairies Eat?

Fairies love to eat...

• Cherries
• Strawberries
• Fruit, basically!

How Big Is A Fairy?

Most fairies are 6" tall, if you include the height of the wings.  Without wings a fairy is 5" tall on average.

But fairies come in all shapes and sizes, as you can see from this picture of Clank and Bobble...

Fairy Wings & Pixie Dust

Vidia - a Fast-Flying Fairy

Terence - a Pixie Dust Fairy

• Do not get fairy wings wet.  Wet wings cannot fly.
• If a fairy has a twin sister, when their wings touch they will glow a pink, yellow and blue light.
• Fairies also must have pixie dust to fly.
• Some wings are pointed on top, and some are pointed at the bottom too.  Wings can also be rounded.  
• All wings are clear.
• Boys have silver pixie dust; girls have gold pixie dust.
• Pixie dust comes from a pixie dust tree, but fairies don't have to go to the tree to get it.  Terence delivers!
